A creamy, smoky, and savory dip featuring smoked cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning, perfect for parties and quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, full-fat
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1-2 teaspoons milk or additional sour cream to adjust consistency

Instructions

  1. Let 8 ounces of full-fat cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend until silky, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for a subtle smoky note. Optionally add a tiny dash of liquid smoke for more intense flavor.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon chopped chives, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix gently to combine.
  5. Taste the dip and adjust consistency by stirring in 1-2 teaspoons milk or more sour cream if too thick. Add more seasoning or lemon juice if needed.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and dip firm up. For quicker serving, chill for 30 minutes.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle extra everything bagel seasoning and chopped chives on top. Serve with crunchy veggies, bagel chips, or toasted bread slices.

Notes

Soften cream cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps. Add everything bagel seasoning gradually to avoid over-salting. For authentic smoky flavor, cold-smoke cream cheese if possible, or use smoked paprika as a reliable shortcut. Let dip sit out 10 minutes before serving if too firm from refrigeration.
